Industrial software startup PrismTech has launched v2.0 of its Vortex data-sharing platform, with a major update to provide greater capabilities for edge-network computing – known as fog computing. The new Vortex Fog feature promises secure real-time data connectivity between low latency Fog applications communicating with each other at the network edge and cloud-hosted applications. The update comes on the heels of the launch of the OpenFog Consortium, which saw ARM, Cisco, Dell, Intel, Microsoft, and Princeton University’s engineering school form a new industry body to advance the technology that powers fog computing – so called because the computational processes take place closer to the source (ground) than the cloud (sky). HP Enterprise has also announced a similar strategy this week…
